500 milliliters of hard water samples and 50mL soap lyes are mixed 15 minutes, then pass through #41 filter paper mistakes with Buchner funnel Filter the mixture and soap scum is made.The residue of residual on the filter mixes 10 points with 2 grams of graphite powders in 200 milliliters of isopropanols Clock.Hereafter, 4 grams of synthesis sebums are added, and the mixture is continued into stirring 10 minutes.

Then gained soap scum is coated onto and be coated in advance with according to ASTM D4488 on multiple dry wallboard samples of white paint.Once Coat, the soap scum on wallboard is dried before the test begins.

Baking greasy soils on aluminium

According to the A2 spot preparation processes summarized in ASTM4488, by steam bath by CRISCO boards vegetable shortenings, pig Oil and each 33 grams of vegetable oil combine with 1 gram of graphite powder, to prepare grease.By the blending of each composition until then smooth be allowed to cool down. Then the grease is coated onto on multiple aluminium Q- plates in juxtaposition baking oven and toasted 4 hours in 100 DEG C, until grease, which is formed, can not pass through machine The solid bed that tool cleaning removes.

Tar spot on aluminium

Tar spot blend is prepared according to following steps.Tectyl506, a kind of viscous oil (are purchased from Pennsylvania Jamaal Wilkes-Ba Er geophysical service companies), and Tectyl121B (the tarry petroleum material for also being available from geophysical service company), Both are by weight 10:90 prepare resulting mixture.Each component is heated in mixed process to form uniform blend.It is once mixed Close, the tar spot layer of about 5 mil thicks is coated onto on aluminium Q- plates, and panel was air-dried in 4 hours.

Tar spot on vinyl

Standardization tar spot blend is prepared according to above-mentioned steps.Once being made, the tar spot layer of 5 mils is coated onto On a variety of commercially available vinyl floors and it is set to be air-dried in 4 hours.

Embodiment 3：Compare Cleasing compositions A-G and Cleasing compositions 1-4 of the present invention qualitative scouring test

Control Cleasing compositions A-G and cleaning group of the present invention are tested on a variety of spot panels manufactured in example 2 Compound 1-4 effect.Cleasing compositions carry out test process using cleaner, and the double Friction Testers of engineered MEK (are taken purchased from adding The big DJH Co., Ltds of Ontario or the Gardco on Florida State Bo Mupangpanuo beaches) to replace hammer with sponge holder and Build the cleaner.Sponge holder is formed by 4 inches of aluminum barrels of 3/4 inch of internal diameter, and has one to insert 1/2 inch from bottom of cylinder Holding ring so that sponge is held in position in during cleaning, i.e., 1/2 inch of the fixation above clean face plate Distance.

First, by clean 1¹/₂The SCOTCH BRITE sponges of inch are (public purchased from Paul, MN 3M Department), cut into multiple high by 1¹/₂Inch, the cylindrical plugs of 3/4 inch of diameter.In first sponge plug insertion folder machine, then will Clean solution to be tested pours into estimate until sponge on sponge from top reaches saturation, but is not submerged.With cleaner and The method that minimum friction is similar between test sponge and clean surface is cleaned to Gardner to start to wash.Clean wide 0.8 English in path Very little, long 2 inches, one time (twice) of stroke is time-consuming 0.4 second.

Each compareed in Cleasing compositions A-G and Cleasing compositions 1-4 of the present invention is described more in example 2 Tested on individual spot panel.Each panel is cleaned until reaching 1000 strokes or one earlier in panel is clean. If stopping cleaning because panel is clean, record is reached to the number of stroke needed for that result.Stop in addition, once cleaning Afterwards, operating personnel will observe each panel and evaluate its cleanliness factor using qualitative evaluation scale, represent complete clean with " 10 " Panel and " 2 " represent very unclean panel.When evaluating Cleasing compositions with wallboard panels, the said composition when plate humidity Effect and unobvious.Therefore, the scouring number (such as 25,50,100 etc.) of setting will be performed, and plate is dried before evaluation.

Each in control Cleasing compositions A-G and Cleasing compositions 1-4 of the present invention will be prepared in example 2 Tested in each spot substrate, the result of qualitative analysis is given in Table 4 below.

Table 4：It is qualitative to compare performances of the Cleasing compositions A-G and Cleasing compositions 1-4 of the present invention on various pollution panels Evaluation

Note：" ne " represents not assessed.

As shown in upper table 4, for the spot and the type of panel provided, Cleasing compositions 1-4 of the present invention tends to remove More spots, as shown in higher fraction, there is the number of stroke less than control Cleasing compositions A-G.In addition, such as pass through ratio Cleasing compositions 1-4 more of the present invention is to shown in the performance of all types stained surface, the effect of Cleasing compositions of the invention is simultaneously It is not limited to certain types of spot or surface.On the contrary, Cleasing compositions 1-4 of the present invention has the ability from a variety of different types of tables Remove hydrophobicity (such as tar) and hydrophily (such as soap scum) spot in face.

Embodiment 4：Various controls and the qualitative scouring of Cleasing compositions of the present invention are evaluated

Carry out the ability that different spots are removed in extra scouring test to quantify a variety of Cleasing compositions from various substrates. In test process, a variety of controls and Cleasing compositions of the present invention are subjected to scouring in above-described embodiment 3 and tested, with determine from The number of stroke needed for 90% spot is removed on each panel, is determined again by ocular estimate.If the maximum stroke that panel needs Number is more more than as defined in given panel types --- it is more than 500 times more than 1000 number of strokes and to paint wallboard i.e. to aluminum deck Number of stroke --- it will stop testing, while record maximum stroke number.

Proceeded as described above using control Cleasing compositions B-H and Cleasing compositions of the present invention 1 with from an aluminum deck Remove baking greasy soils (bakee grease and clean test) and from another aluminum deck except tar removing (i.e. tar-aluminium scouring Test).In addition, the process is carried out with from paint wallboard using control Cleasing compositions B-D, H and Cleasing compositions of the present invention 1 Remove soap scum (i.e. soap scum scrub washing test).Table 5 below summarizes every kind of composition listed above and substrate and removed extremely according to range estimation The result of number of stroke needed for few 90% spot.

Table 5：Remove the number of stroke needed for 90% spot on panel

In addition, Fig. 1-3c show the outward appearance of each panel after these tests, each above-mentioned group is wherein figure 1 illustrated Compound removes the result of grease from aluminium supernatant, and Fig. 2 shows that each above-mentioned composition is given from the result of aluminium supernatant tar removing, Fig. 3 a-c The result that each above-mentioned composition removes soap scum from paint wallboard is gone out, has been shown in Fig. 3 a-3c every under specific operation The number of strokes of individual experiment.

In addition, numerous compositions are evaluated in a similar way in 1000 strokes from vinyl panel supernatant tar removing Ability (i.e. tar-vinyl cleans test).Step according to embodiment 2 prepares panel, still, due to be difficult from The vinyl supernatant tar removing do not waxed, 1000 are carried out using the apparatus and method described in embodiment 3 to each spot panel Secondary stroke.After 1000 strokes, stop test, it is right to carry out qualitative evaluation to result with the similar mode described in embodiment 3 The cleaning capacity of composition carries out the visually deciding grade and level in the range of 1 to 10, wherein " 1 " represents low level or no cleaning capacity, " 10 " represent nearly or completely to clean.The grade distributed in each composition is summarized in table 6 below, and Fig. 4 shows test As a result.
